The War of 1812 Bicentennial Peace Garden, located near the Leotta-Seaway Trail Park at 158 E. First St., Oswego, will be officially dedicated at 4 p.m. Saturday, June 16.

The garden was originally developed in 2003 by City Engineer Anthony A. Leotta, the Jay Saternow family, and several volunteers from the community. It was named a “Peace Garden” by the late Frank Clavelli Sr., former member of the Oswego Common Council.

Leotta, the City Department of Public Works, and a group of volunteers have cared for and maintained the garden for the past several years.
